LINK'S PEN PAL - CHAPTER 2
When the sun rose, Zelda wanted to roll over and go back to sleep. But she knew there was a busy day ahead. Ever so slowly, she moved about getting ready, her eyes narrow slits.
A renewed frenzy of conversation from the sages greeted her as she made her way to breakfast.
"The Zora sapphire is the prettiest. Technically it's three gems in one."
"But the Goron ruby is shaped like a flower."
"Ha! You call that a flower?" Saria smirked. "You must have shaped it with your teeth, then! The Kokiri emerald, on the other hand, is simple and elegant. It represents life, love, and happiness."
"The Zora sapphire represents love! It was my engagement stone, after all," Ruto cried, indignant.
"We Gorons don't shape stone with our teeth," Darunia informed the forest sage. "We would be too tempted to eat it if we did."
Zelda ignored the banter and found a seat at the table next to Impa. "Have you seen Link?" she asked.
"No," her attendant replied.
"Good. Now I can finally have some peace around here." Zelda leaned forward and put her arms on the table, resting her head on them.
"You still have to finish making the arrangements for this mysterious pen pal."
"Ugh! Don't remind me! The sooner we get this over with, the better. You know," she sat up and turned to Impa, "do you think Link could be making all of this up just to get attention?"
A noise coming from the hallway distracted them. Link, dressed in a full suit of armor was walking past, carrying a deku stick. Impa and Zelda exchanged a glance, but before they could speak, Nabooru called out.
"Link! What are you doing?"
With much clanking, he turned to them, looking sheepish. "I'm learning how to joust."
Nabooru shred everyone's look of confusion. "Why?"
The hero rubbed his metal-plated arms, crossed them, then let them hang at his sides. The whole time he kept his eyes to the ground. When the silence had become palpable, Rauru spoke up. "Why, Link?"
Link's embarrassed look intensified. "Well . . . ItoldmypenpalIcouldjoust," he got out in a rush. Then he turned and clanked rapidly down the hallway.
As the noise faded away, Impa spoke to the room at large. "Trying to get attention? It looks more like he is crazy to me."
Rauru nodded. "Indeed."
Princess Ruto burst into tears.
